THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
The Decision Relating to the In
demnity Withdrawals.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-The Secreta-
ry of the interior is preparing decision
relating to the indemnity Withdrawals
of the Northern Pacific Railroad COM
pany. He reviews at some length the
company'S construction of the law,
which is in effect that its grant was of
the designated quantities of land along
the entire length of the road: that
though the road necessarily ran through
several political divisions of the United
States and territories it was in no wise
controlled by such political divisions in
its rights, privileges and franchises ac-
quired by its charter; that the quantity
of land lost along the entire line be-
comes the measure OF indemnity which
is to be selected. not in any particular
state or territory, but anywhere in the
ten-mile limit of the indemnity belt.
which limit, like the grant. extends
along the entire line of the road, from
terminus to terminus, and it can make
no difference whether the loss is i'm
Minnesota OF Washington territory, and
the losses are likewise common to the
whole road, and so the indemnity lands
are equally common to the whole road.
and given to supply these losses. The
secretary
in these views. He will hold that con-
greSs recognized the political divisions
of the states and territories when it gave
the company ten alternate Odd-num-
bered sections of land on each side of
the line of the road when it passes
through state and twenty miles or sec
tiOns when it passes through territory.
The lien land is but the substitute of
the granted land and the same boundary
lines applies to the one as to the other.
The same distinction is preserved in
providing for an indemnity belt, less
being allowed in the states than in the
territories. The secretary will say that
in his opinion, and according to the
views herein expressed, the indemnity
claims of the company must be greatly
reduced, and it will not require all their
vacant odd-numbered sections within
the indemnity limits, but that there
would he lands to restore to the public
domain. The secretary will also hold
that this company is entitled to but one
indemnity belt of ten miles in width and
that the grant of July 80, 1870, repealed
and modified that of the first, so far as
they confiicted, and that both relate to
the same indemnity belt. These are the
only points not covered by the decision
of yesterday in the Atlantic & Pacific
case.
